Isn't He amazing?

Do you ever seriously stop everything that you are doing, turn off the ipod shuffle, mp3, or whatever you're ears are listening to, and just sit in the presence of Almighty God?

This post is much different than any other I've sent out.. Mainly because you see I have been captured by the Holy Spirit during the past few days and unable to explain it.  God the Father who sits on the throne in Heaven loves me.  In fact, He loved me before I was even a thought in my parents' minds.  He knew what sins I was going to commit, how and where I was going to make Him happy and sad (more sad, unfortunately), and yet He still chose to invest All of His consuming power in growing me to become the man He wants me to be.  Isn't that amazing?

I believe we "Christians" have gone too far when we base our so-called religion upon principles and laws that aren't even mentioned in the Bible.  Yes, I'm talking about criticizing other believers for going to a Methodist or non-denominational place of Worship, just because I am Baptist and I believe it's the only spiritually correct standard.  Nonetheless, Christ has chosen us to Worship Him and Serve Him.  If we do these two things whole heartedly, and love each other with all that we have, we will be doing all that we can do to truly see His face.

Hope this means even more to you than it has to me.  If you want to really soak up God's power, turn to Psalm 18 and read.  Before you do, know that this is David singing to God about how the Lord delivered him from all his enemies. Powerful stuff. Praying for all the summer missionaries today.  Until next time, worship and serve God!
